POULTRY-BREEDING.
The Cost of Poultry.

Five cents pound will cover the expense
of raising chicks to the age of three
months. That is for the feed, but we must
also consider that in order to hatch and
raise brood of chicks, there is the value
of the egg from which the chick is pro-
duced, the interest on capital invested in
quarters, fences, etc., and the labor of
caring for the fowls. The larger the
number of chicks raised the smaller the
expense proportionately, as but little more
care and labor is required for larger num-
Der than smaller.
In one lot of 1900 chicks on farm in
New Jersey, a strict account of all the ex-
penses developed the fact that while but 5
| cents was required for producing a pound
of poultry, the total cost for building,
labor, feed, and interest, was cents. This
sum may be safely estimated as the maxi
mum cost of producinga pound of poultry,
but it may be reduced or increased in pro-
portion to the number raised, the larger
the number, as We stated before, the
smaller the expense for each chick. The
expense for food will not be diminished or
increased, but the building, fences, and
labor, will tiuctuate in value according to
the number.
1t has been estimated that the cost of the
quarters amounts to about 81 per head, Or,
rather, that it requires about $40 to build q
house for ten fowls. and 800 for 100 fowls,
but it is apparent that the larger the house
the cheaper the cost proportionately, while,
SO far as the labor is concerned, one can
as easily feed 100 fowls as ten, and also
keep the quarters clean more economically
rs compared with the fewer number.
Yet, in the face of these advantages in
favor of the keeping of poultry in large
mn I'm hers the general result herafofnra h a q
been that the smaller the number the
ance with the rules applying to all other
industries. This can only be accounted
for ON the superstition that the small flocks
receive more attention than the large ones,
and it is probably the solution of the prob
lem. Those who have a few fowls only,
are careful to feed them q variety, and the
quarters are made as comfortable as pos
sible, not day passing by that some of
the family does not assist IN caring for the
fowls. while large numbers are often over
looked, and many of the essential details
neglected.
The cost, of course, depends upon the
labor, but with small flock there is n be-
stowal Of labor which is not valued, being
performed by children and ladies' as a
source of pleasure, but which would be
considered as an important item in an ac-
count kept with large flock. That 8 cents
will cover ali the cost is fair estimate.
and it leaves large margin for profit if
the chicks are hatched early and advantage
be taken of high prices. Even if only
II cents per pound be realized, the profit
is 1874 per cent, which is much larger than
may be expected from many other sources,

DRAINAGE and outlets.

Year by year the thorough drainage of
land is attracting more and more attention
in the West. There is no one thing that is
of more Importance. Years ago the drain
age Of land was supposed to be SO fine an
art that a drainage engineer must be en-
ployed to superintend the work. Where
the fall is SO obscure that it is not so APP
parent to the eye, this may be necessary
now. 1t is also necessary when an extern
sive tract of drainage is to be undertaken
involving an elaborate system of mains,
wells" and peep" holes. Ordinary
drainage on the rolling prairies of the West
and our ordinary so-called fiat lands may
be accomplished by beginning at the lowest
point OF outfall and preserving continuous
and fairly equable water current in the
bottom Of the bitches. 1t is not the pres
ent purpose to elaborate the science of
drainage, but to call attention to the pre-
servation of the outlets intact.
An outlet in which permanent water is
running does not freeze up. But if the
current ceases, as IS apt to be the case in
winter in many instances, the tile will
burst. The reason is that the seeping
water freezes the outlet full, and SO far
back as this occurs the tile will burst, in
accordance with a well-known law. An
other disability is the breaking down of tile
from disinte9 grafton by the air where ex-
posed. This latter disability may be pre-
vented by using verified tile for that por-
ton at and near the outlet, extending SO far
into the land that frost will have no effect,
say for distance of eight feet. Bursting
of the tile may be obviated by increasing
the pitch (inclination) of the tile near the
outlet.
Thus, in case you find the drains do not
drain, as it is termed, look to the outlets.
The difficulty will generally be found at the
outlet from disintegration of the tile. or
within three feet Of the outlet. Where
there is free and constant current of
water through the tile no difficulty will be
experienced. The plan prevents freezing.
The reason is that, the constant current
being comparatively warm and kept con-
slant, by that which presses from behind,
freezing is impossible. Chicago Tribune.

Itoht aud Hearv Han.

In the various rules for estimating the
amount Of hay in bulk, not enough differ
ence is allowed for the variation in weight
depending on the condition when cured,
the exposure to rains, and other causes.
The same sorts will have much less weight
in proportion to bulk after being dried out
by a cold winter. Hay that has been
bleached by long exposure to rains will al
ways be light in weight, and be proportion
ably less valuable than even its weight
would indicate. The soluble juices which
give hay its greatest value have been
washed out by rains, leaving an undue pro-
portion of woody fiber. There is besides a
considerable variation in the original con-
stituents of grass and hay, depending on
the character Of the soil ON which it is
grown. Farmers on vet, mucky, and over
flowed land complain that their large crops
of hay do not pan ont we'll when brought
to the weighing scales. Timothy grown on
such soil has coarse. hollow stems, with
smaller proportion Of leaves. Such soils
are often deficient in mineral fertilizers,
and dressing OF phosphate when the land
is seeded makes the crop better and the
hay richer and heavier. Still this coarse
hay is salable and does not exhaust the
soil as does hay grown on upland. This
may be one reason why the bulk of hay
sold is grown on low, mucky, or overlooked
lands.
